Anyone have a hiss in their towers when they turn them downto zero on the ws420. mine seem to hiss. i usually only turn them on when we have a rider. or hanging out swimming.

I was doing and inboat test that david from Earmark recommended for the bass boost button vs the sub eq output and finally got that straight,( thanks David went with your advise.) but i noticed the tower hiss.

I had to retune because my one year old likes to turn the knobs when she is driving??? :p she can't reach the moomba steering wheel hub yet;)

Yes,
A little ambient noise when sitting still is normal for an EQ. HLCDs will ruthlessly reproduce this. Adjusting down your amplifier input gain can impact this.

Mine have a slight hiss. Noticed it when changing rop length. Have not checked. Cabins as I have to be 4" to notice

My XM7s hiss when turned down to zero on the WS420. If I keep a minimal amount of volume running through them, it's barely noticeable.
